Abstract

Shallow-water bathymetry survey has been conducted using high definition color images obtained at the altitude of 100 m above sea level using a drone. Shallow-water bathymetry data are one of the most important input data for the research of beach erosion problems. Especially, accurate bathymetry data within closure depth are critically important, because most of the interesting phenomena occur in the surf zone. However, it is extremely difficult to obtain accurate bathymetry data due to wave-induced currents and breaking waves in this region. Therefore, optical remote sensing technique using a small drone is considered to be attractive alternative. This paper presents the potential utilization of image processing algorithms using multi-variable linear regression applied to red, green, blue and grey band images for estimating shallow water depth using a drone with HD camera. Optical remote sensing analysis conducted at Wolpo beach showed promising results. Estimated water depths within 5 m showed correlation coefficient of 0.99 and maximum error of 0.2 m compared with water depth surveyed through manual as well as ship-board echo-sounder measurements.

드론을 이용하여 고도 100 m에서 촬영한 고해상도 카메라 이미지를 분석하여 천해 해저지형 측량을 시도하였다. 쇄파대 내의 수심측량은 해안침식의 원인분석 등 관련 연구를 위해 가장 중요한 입력자료 중의 하나이다. 특히 이동한계수심 이내의 천해 수심자료는 연안 침퇴적 수치모델링을 위한 가장 중요한 입력자료 임에도 불구하고 정확한 해저지형측량 자료를 얻을 수 없었다. 그 이유는 선박을 이용한 상세 수심측량이 흘수 등을 고려할 때 수심 2 m 이내에서는 거의 불가능하며, 또한 쇄파와 연안류로 인해 선박 또는 사람이 직접 충분한 해상도로 측량하기에 매우 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 소형 드론과 고해상도 카메라 이미지를 이용한 광학원격탐사는 매우 효과적인 천해수심측량 수단이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 경북 월포해수욕장에서 드론으로 촬영한 고해상도 카메라 이미지의 적색, 녹색, 청색 그리고 회색 밴드 이미지를 다변수 선형회귀분석법으로 분석하여 천해 수심을 추정하고 실측한 수심자료와 비교하여 천해수심측량의 가능성과 정확도를 검토하였다. 드론에서 촬영한 이미지를 해저 지질, 바닷물의 색상, 부유사의 농도 등의 영향을 고려하지 않고 수심추정 알고리즘을 이용하여 분석한 결과 수심 5 m 이내에서 상관계수 0.99 이상, 절대오차 0.2 m 이하로 수심을 정확하게 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
